There's a certain file image which can be instantly mounted in DOSBox as a floppy disk, but fails to do so in newer variants like DOSBox-X, any idea how to fix it (a bug was already submitted but both got no reply and the same issue seems to occur in all other variants as well)?

Steps to reproduce

  1. Download Kryoflux for Windows and extract
  2. Enter https://archive.org/details/WWFEuropeanRampageTourOcean199235Kryoflux.7z
  3. Download the Kryoflux Dump there
  4. Use Windows CMD to enter kryoflux_3.00_windows\dtc\DTC_x64\
  5. Use KryoFlux COMMAND LINE EXAMPLES of Create formatted image files in deviceless mode (i.e., using stream files) to create a standard IMG file, e.g.
    dtc -f"WWF European Rampage Tour (Disk 1)(Ocean)(1992)(3,5'')\track00.0.raw" -i0 -fdisk1.img -i4 -m1
    dtc -f"WWF European Rampage Tour (Disk 2)(Ocean)(1992)(3,5'')\track00.0.raw" -i0 -fdisk2.img -i4 -m1
  6. Note the second command produces errors:
    00.0 : Bad sector found
    00.0 : Read operation failed
    00.1 : Bad sector found
    00.1 : Read operation failed
    01.0 : Bad sector found
    01.0 : Read operation failed
    01.1 : Bad sector found
    01.1 : Read operation failed
    02.0 : Bad sector found
    02.0 : Read operation failed
    02.1 : Bad sector found
    02.1 : Read operation failed
    03.0 : Bad sector found
    03.0 : Read operation failed
    03.1 : Bad sector found
    03.1 : Read operation failed
    04.0 : Bad sector found
    04.0 : Read operation failed
    04.1 : Bad sector found
    04.1 : Read operation failed
  7. Run imgmount a disk2.img -t floppy

Result in DOSBox
The file gets mounted successfully.

Result in DOSBox variants
Drive A isn't mounted with the message cannot create drive from file.
Note it does work perfectly for disk1.
